    ESPN Headline Writers Probably Should've Opted For Something Less Chinky

    Given all the insensitivity issues that have come up during Olympic basketball, it probably wasn't a good idea for ESPN.com to use "Chink In The Armor?" as their Redeem Team story hed at 4 p.m. today. Well, it's changed now. That's the beauty of online publishing; your sins can be vanquished in an instant. Unless, of course, one person like Krister Johnson immediately screen-grabs it and sends it over to Deadspin.

    We're sure ESPN didn't mean anything by it. Maybe the thought the headline was just an "affectionate gesture."

    Anyway, stories:

    • White Men: Runnin'

    • Beijing: Smuttin'

    • Drew Magary: Tittin'

    • Ladies: Phelpsin'

    • Tiki: Cuntin'

    • Clay: Kige'n

    • ESPN: Croissantin'

    • Leitch: Hall of Famin'

    That's it for this week. Tomorrow, Tuffy (pronounced "TOO-Fay" I believe) gets to be a solider boy, made of clay in the KOGOD Weekend Army and round out the Olympics for us.

    BACK TO THE FRONT, TOO-FAY.

    Plus, more Beijing bureau stuff that will most likely have 90% less skin.

    Tonight: get yourself a plate of cheese, a sack full of kittens and go have some fun.

    Thank you for your continued support of J.E. Skeets.
